word2vec_bin_parser

Tiny Python script for parsing Word2Vec .bin embeddings.

Interested in running analyses on Word2Vec embeddings? Maybe you searched for a pre-trained embedding and found the 3.5GB GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin from https://code.google.com/archive/p/word2vec/? Stuck with a binary file and don't want to download a large machine learning library just to look at the vectors?

Your problems are over! Introducing word2vec_bin_parser, a tiny, tiny Python file for reading those monstrosities. You can use it as a library (bin2stream(path)), or a converter (word2vec_bin_parser file.bin). Because it's Python it's very slow, but feel free to look up the tiny source code and adapt into your program.
